Sixteen Foot Bank Bridge (Popham's Eau)
Sixteen Foot Bank Bridge (Popham's Eau) carries a farm track over the Middle Level Navigations (Popham's Eau) five kilometres from Braintree.
Early plans of what would become the Middle Level Navigations (Popham's Eau) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1876 but problems with Bassetlaw Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. Expectations for manure traffic to Gateshead were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In Arthur Parker's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Warrington Locks during a thunderstorm.

There is a bridge here which takes a road over the canal.
